Recent sockmaster, possibly continuing with a another account - Identical edit as recently banned socks from a different account that has never edited the article before. Similar tone on the new accounts other edits as the banned socks. Guyonthesubway (talk) 12:38, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Hmm.. I'm not really convinced of this one. This account has edited articles that the others haven't, but that most recent edit is somewhat troubling, so CU to confirm. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 16:22, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

User's first (and so far only) edit was to Talk:Ruggero Santilli, the same place where Kaufmann1111 and his previous socks were active. User's comment shows that xe is aware that prior comments by other editors were removed from the talk page for soapboxing. Given that Kaufmann1111 previously socked, and the topic is the same, this seem pretty ducky to me. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:02, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Very much given the timing of the locations of the two accounts; however, that's all I make a connection with via technical evidence. However, this looks more likely given the behavioral evidence. –MuZemike 03:23, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Editing style and topic interest. New Account with the same agenda. Kaufman is very interested in anything to do with Santilli or HHO Guyonthesubway (talk) 20:11, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

 * - The last time any Kaufman111 sock has edited was two years ago. And NINE years ago since they edited Ruggero Santilli.  You gotta give us more than quack quack. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:09, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The Ruggero Santilli article has been the subject of promotional, fringe, antisemitic, and sockpuppet/spa edits on an ongoing basis for much longer than the timeframe of this SPI. It appears very likely that the edits are by Santilli himself. So when a new spa comes to the Ruggero Santilli article, once again attempting to hide the fringe nature of the topic, and to the article talk page to make racist/cryptoantisemitic insinuations about other Wikipedia editors , and dance around Santilli's past history of antisemitism , without editing any other articles, it doesn't take much quacking to conclude that it's the same duck. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:33, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , I will look into this, but please try to see it from the point of view of a clerk investigating a report. You are apparently familiar with the history of the case.  I am not.  I just picked it up as the next one on the queue that needed working on.  What I'm asking is that you make my job easier by sharing some of the knowledge you have about the history. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:04, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * based on diff1 and diff2 by previous sock DCsghost adding Popper reference, and re-adding it by Jolli321. I'll also semi-protect Ruggero Santilli. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:23, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
